Thanks so much Troy for your help. I appreciate it.

Share the folder on the Windows system, go to the Mac, in the Finder (will show in the top left corner, if not, click on a blank area of the desktop) then go to the "Go" menu, select "Connect to server...." and type in the address of the shared folder in the format of protocol + :// + server + file path. So to connect to my personal space on the HIT file server I use smb://team-user2/murrayt5 which prompts me for my network logon and password, then "mounts" the shared folder on the Mac. That's it. -t On Nov 9, 2007, at 6:05 PM, Javier Ornelas wrote: I have a lab that is made up of 3 Mac's that aren't networked together at this time, but would like to use a new Dell PC as a fileserver for all 3 Mac's. Anyone have any advice for setting this up? The Mac's are about 1 year old (PowerPC's) running OSX (10.4.x) The Dell is brand new. They were thinking of using Folder Share, but were asking if this is the best way to go without spending much money. If software is needed for this to happen, they are willing to purchase it.
